Managing & fostering good relations with PhD supervisors

Working life is inherently relational and in the case of doing a PhD, a specific and unique relation is that with your mentor or supervisor. Mutually nurturing this relationship, is key to success, or is it? In this weeks podcast, our panel explore how they have worked with, and managed their relationships with supervisors. How this develops over time, how you ensure your research is your own and their tips for success. This weeks host is Chris Hardy a Clinical neuroscience and Postdoc from University College London and the panellists are Jacki Stansfield a PhD working also at UCL, Robyn Dowlen, PhD Student at The University of Manchester and finally Lisa Thorpe a PhD Student, University of Chester. (Needless to say, they all have perfect relationships with their supervisors) Please share our podcasts using #ECRDementia and visit our website www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk where you will find lots of information and support for Early Career Dementia Researchers.
